In the 1930s, Unity House opened a new building that included duplicates of murals that Diego Rivera had originally painted for the R.C.A. building in New York. (John D. Rockefeller had cancelled Rivera's commission and destroyed the murals, which included an image of Vladimir Lenin, for being too radical). The Rivera murals, minus two that lampooned Mussolini and that thus might antagonizing Italian members, were lost when the Unity House administration building burnt down in 1969. Today, another copy, hangs in the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City.
